For a few years my parents have had a GTech vacuum, first they had the upright AirRam and now they also have the handheld Multi. I've used both and love them and as such I contacted Gtech to ask if I could review the new MK 2 AirRam. Lucky for me they said yes, so I set about giving it a very through testing and as I suspected may be the case, I am in love. This really is the best vacuum I've ever used and considering that for quite a number of years my career was as a hotel manager with responsibility for housekeeping amongst other departments, I've tried out a fair few.
The Gtech AirRam retails for £199.99 (or you can buy a K9 model with added suction for if you have pets). I think the big selling point of the AirRam is how light it is, at just 3.5kg even my 10 year old's pick it up and carry it up the stairs easily. It is wonderful to see them willing to do their own cleaning as it is so easy with no cords to get tangled in too. It glides around the room like it is on rollers and the swivel handle is a dream to use as well, as you can be standing in one direction and vacuuming in another.
The battery can perform for an impressive 40 minute run time on one charge cycle, which takes about 4 hours but you don't have to have the battery fully charged to be able to use it, even an hour gives it a boast to be able to clean when you need to. I also like that the battery has 4 light sections, so you can see what charge is left.
The suction on the AirRam is excellent and it has edge cleaning technology to help you get the debris right up to the edge of the room and this helps with stair cleaning too. If I'm honest I do miss having a hose I can disconnect and really get into tight corners but it is a small trade-off. I'm just hoping to get the handheld Multi soon so I have that for cleaning the stairs, my sofas and the car.
You'll see in my video just how much the AirRam picks up when you vacuum. It works well on dust and other small particles, larger items (paper, balloons and pen lids have all gone in mine) and also hair. The debris is all trapped in a fantastic purpose designed canister, which is easy and clean to empty by opening the door and sliding the ejector arm.
It is great to have the peace of mind that you have 30 days to make up your mind. If within this time you are not entirely satisfied Gtech will happily exchange the product or give you a full refund. There is also the reassurance of a 2 years manufacturers guarantee against defects from faulty manufacturing.
I'm not the only happy customer though, you can see over 44,000 independent reviews on TrustPilot from Gtech customers and Gtech have received a rating of 9.4/10 which is excellent.
I'll leave you with my full video review and you can see for yourself just how fab this product is -
Why not pin this post for later?
Disclosure: I received the Gtech AirRam free of charge for the purpose of this review. I have not been instructed what to write and I remain honest.
